Note
This course --Italian Language (6CFU)-- will be taught in the Second Semester 2018-19 (i.e. Spring Semester 2019).
It is a mandatory course for all international students enrolled in the BA degree program in Business & Management and presumes an at least low pre-intermediate level of Italian (CEFR A1/A2 level).
The Italian language final exam can be taken in your first, second or third year. However, students who are absolute beginners of Italian, particularly those who are native speakers of a non-Romance language, are strongly advised to attend ITALIAN LANGUAGE 1 - ELEMENTARY ITALIAN already in their first year, even though they may decide to postpone taking the final exam to later years. Moreover, students who feel they may benefit from it, are not prevented from attending the class more than once before taking the final exam (but keep in mind that the course is offered once every academic year).
